There is a place........serene .............

past the sunflower fields where rainbows stretch across 

and on the busiest path.........where cars and trucks whiz by........

not taking time to notice...........

how picturesque this spot looks............ 

but I notice and want to stop here

each time..........to just enjoy the beauty of these large and ancient trees.

They have been here on this busy path I have traveled  for the past 30 years ,

and my husband remembers them far back when he was a child, traveling to visit his grandparents. 

One does not realize just how large their trunks are .......

until they stand beside them.........in awe.......and feeling small. 

Sometimes, there is a stream of water running at their base, from recent rains.......

but no one knows this........

except for me........and this whimsical and friendly fellow.

 How about you?

Is there a place..........on the beaten path..........where life is too busy to take time to slow down to enjoy............except for you?? 

I would love to hear!
